At long last I am compiling an XBR FAQ.

Click HERE (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/one.pot/XBR.html) for details.

Please take the time to answer the questions and send them back to me.

Cheers

Are you going to publish your own answers?

Number 20 will be interesting:

Q:How often do you use the kick start?

A: Depends which German Hotel carpark I'm in  ;D

I'm still surprised the KS ratchet didn't need replacing after that, it must have been 200 kicks. I think that's what charged the battery and got it going in the end!

I hadn't forgotten that  ::)

I am still a little guilty about having you and Tim give me a tour of that industrial estate trying to get the bastard to bumpstart. All, I suspect, for the sake of a tarpaulin. The bike had spent the night under a convering of snow and moisture had got everywhere.

I never did find the definitive answer to the electrical woes that blighted that Elefant Rally ride, but a new wiring loom, HT lead and reg/rect. were needed pretty soon after that and it's been fine since.

No worries about the pushing. There are people who think a little exercise wouldn't do me any harm.  :)

Graham, I've sent you some answers to those questions by email. Have you received this, and the earlier email with my new address?
